[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC and friends mostly got mid to high six figures TC as fresh graduates from MIT majoring in math, cs, physics etc. they’ll be doing AI research (think OpenAI), quant trading etc.[/quote]

For things related to AI, [b]it's like the NBA right now[/b]. The numbers are insane.

I have a mechanical engineering major at a T20. Not AI. But after the sophomore year internship, DC is looking at $180,000+ starting, plus bonus. In an engineering capacity, not finance. Still has two years to go, but that's what's on the table now. [/quote]
Yeah top STEM talents are paid like professional athletes now. They can easily crack a few millions in compensation with a few YOE.[/quote]

Comparing talented STEM majors to pro athletes is a disservice to these students. They are getting high six figures plus bonus/RSU which can equal maybe $250k to $600K at the higher end, while pro athletes are raking in millions. They also have to live in HCOL cities typically and have to meet certain lifestyles to network with peer group. Given there is no backstop in US for anyone when they get unemployed or wish to retire then a good amount also should be saved, which leaves them with very little. [/quote]
I’m not talk about an average CS graduate, but those who are capable of doing AI research (not engineering) or quant trading. They’re making millions if not tens or hundreds of millions. Google Meta MSL recent recruits.[/quote]

You know zero people who've landed one of these poaching offers, just like you know zero professional athletes.[/quote]
It’s a stretch to assume that and it has nothing to do with the info I provided which is fact.[/quote]

It's a stretch to assume anonymous posters are on the up and up. The fact that someone has received such a package, is very different from [i]my DC and all their STEM friends are getting this treatment[/i]. I call BS. You give the game away suggesting the info stands regardless.[/quote]
